When equipped with the WS-15, is it suppose to have 2D TVC?

You beat me by a few minutes ... but are these J-20AS twin-setaer images also recent?

No

Slowly getting better ...

Do you think the avionics and sensors would be upgraded beside the new engines? It's been more than 10 years since they unveiled the prototype and 5 years since they introduced it into service. I think around 2025 would be a fitting time for MLU.

3D model RCS estimation is useless because it cannot accurately model the gaps and gap treatment methods employed by actual aircraft. The material of those methods and seals, the spaces behind them and many other aspects. Furthermore, it does not assume any material properties that contribute to stealth. The estimates can be very inaccurate in either direction.

The only thing such an endeavor can say is that the general design without considering any of the details which can work in either direction in terms of stealthiness, is good. In this case, the canards penalize stealth a bit but in reality, exactly by how much these such models and estimations cannot actually tell us because the precise geometric qualities and material application in important minute detail areas can be too varied to estimate using assumptions when the model zooms in to any detail.

Almost certainly yes.

and these only give a rudimentary idea of which photos are still on the wallclimber's SD-cards but have not yet been posted.

Now that the J20B is out - maybe we will finally get to see the J20A cockpit properly

( edited-thanks!)

Now that the J10B is out - maybe we will finally get to see the J10A cockpit properly
